For all parents out there, I would like to start a thread about how to make your little ones birthday party remembered by all. Please feel free to add your original ideas.

My unique idea this year for my little boy's birthday was a "NERF" gun-party, every parent (with boys) knows nerf guns, well my partner and I had the idea to buy some nerf guns and re-use some laying about in the house and let the boys free in the garden with them. We set up a little practice course to get them going but soon they got the idea. It was a great day for the kids, and the birthday boy had a great birthday party with all his friends.

Some of you might be thinking, well thats all very well if you have loads of money to spend but it is really cheap if you think about it. I bought 10 guns for £5,97 and bought my boy a more expensive one as after all it was his birthday. After the party the cheaper guns also doubled as a little party gift. So yes I spend about £50 on the party, but what does a cinema or entertainer cost nowadays for 10+1 boys who don't want to sit still and simply want to be boys! Whats more it was extremely healthy for the kids as they just ran around the garden and it kept the house tidy!

Has anyone else got some unique (birthday) party ideas????? I would love to hear them.

What a fun party! Love the idea. You could have spent way more on entertainment and favors than you did!

One of our favorite kids party themes is Zoo or Jungle. It's great for both genders and you can really have fun with the decor indoors or out. You can have a safari-inspired scavenger hunt or the kids can make their own animal masks. You can play some jungle sounds throughout the party to create atmosphere!

There are some really unique ideas on birthday party ideas in the jungle section.

Few party games:1.shoot the Green Army Men off the mantel.2.Shoot the spray painted cans off the hearth.3.Shoot the paint ball gun out the back door at the target, but not actually going outside.4.assemble your own marshmallow shooter from PVC pipe.
